The sky was amazing this morning. Who knew we could actually have a little weather in San Diego. I was on the way to work this am with streaks of lightning bolts to the west out over the ocean....as the sun was rising in the east. The sun was lighting up and silhouetting the thunder clouds in the east and it was black to the west except when lit up by the lightning. Just beautiful.
Then, after spending the day in an even 65 degrees....also, who knew it was actually HOT and sticky outside?
We start our new women's study next week. We're mixing it up a little bit, and reading a book. I think we're going to go through it Book Club Style. We're reading Having a Mary Heart in a Martha World by Joanna Weaver. I still think Martha got a bum rap...
One thing I've gleaned so far is Martha's gift was hospitality...and what a great gift to have. But, ever noticed--one's gift or strength is frequently their weakness as well.
Do I recognize where my strengths come from? Do I realize the gifts and talents God has bestowed on me? Do I keep them in perspective, remembering to follow Mary's example as well...and to be still at the feet of He who made me who I am? I do know I have a lot to learn and glean...so....I'll keep you posted on how the study goes!
Okay, so I'm a little delayed. I am happy to say that we stomped UVA 52-7 over a week ago...thus placing us in the all coveted position of no. 1. hehe. We'll see what happens next Saturday with Ohio St. I'm leaving my work picnic early to watch the game. Let's hope the game goes better than yesterday's miserable Charger game (lost in the last 2 seconds of the game...*sigh*)
